Nokia today announced that Toyota Motors Europe will be using their Local Search for Automotive product to power the Touch & Go navigation and infotainment systems starting in 2014. The agreement covers cars for sale in Europe, Russia and Middle East.

Nokia said that “Toyota drivers will have fast and easy online access to the latest high-quality industry mapping information and community-generated content - including millions of ratings, reviews and images fed directly into their cars.“

In 2012, Toyota sold 838,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Europe. Toyota is already using Nokia (NAVTEQ) maps in the Touch & Go solution.
